FolderChangesView

FolderChangesView is a software application which helps individuals easily monitor for changes in their folders, drives and network shares.

This tool is portable, meaning that you can skip the installation process. By copying the program files on a USB flash drive, you make it possible to use this utility on any computer you have access to.

Aside from that, the Windows registry and Start menu/screen are not going to suffer changes, and there will be no leftover files upon FolderChangesView’s removal.

When first launching this app, you are required to input or select a location to monitor, include or not subfolders, exclude particular directories, and choose maximum and minimum file size.

Once all these configurations are set, the main window is going to display all the changes occurred, along with details such as file name, modified, created and deleted count, path, extension, owner, attributes and first event time.

This information can be saved to the hard drive as TXT, CSV, HTML and XML files, so as to analyze them at a further date. In addition to that, configurations can be saved in a CFG format.

It is possible to stop monitoring at any point, as well as use a search function, show GMT time, grid lines and tool tips, send utility to system tray, mark odd/even rows and sort files on every update.

With comprehensive and well-organized Help contents, good response time, minimal usage of CPU and memory, and user-friendly interface, FolderChangesView proves to be a useful piece of software which can help you monitor what is happening on your computer when you are not using it.
